PCI9030-AA60PI F

Specialized Overview

The PCI9030-AA60PI F is a SMARTarget I/O Accelerator manufactured by Broadcom Limited, formerly PLX Technology. It is a 32-bit, 33MHz PCI v2.2-compliant target interface chip designed to simplify PCI adapter design. The device supports burst transfers up to 132 Mbytes/second on the PCI bus and features a local bus capable of operating at frequencies up to 60MHz with burst transfers reaching 240 Mbytes/second. It operates on a 3.3V power supply with 5V tolerant signaling on both PCI and Local buses. The component is housed in a 176-pin PQFP package and is rated for an operating temperature range from -40°C to +85°C.

Specialized Feature Summary

• Supports CompactPCI Hot Swap Ready functionality including precharge BIOS and early power support.
• Features programmable local bus width control allowing dynamic slave accesses of 8-, 16-, or 32-bit devices.
• Includes five programmable PCI to Local address spaces with individually configurable wait states and burst capabilities.
• Provides automatic big-endian and little-endian conversion for all operations and data types.

Specialized Applications

• Migrating legacy ISA or older designs to PCI interfaces.
• CompactPCI Hot Swap adapter card implementations.
• Small form factor designs such as PMC, PC-MIP, and PCMCIA PC-Cards.

Specialized Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized distributors or direct manufacturer channels. Confirm RoHS compliance status via official documentation. Check for End-of-Life (EOL) notifications or Product Change Notices (PCN) prior to procurement. Ensure storage conditions account for moisture sensitivity levels specified in the datasheet.

Specialized Selection Notes

Select this component when designing PCI target adapters requiring high-performance local bus interfacing up to 60MHz. Consider the 176-pin PQFP package for standard surface-mount applications where space constraints do not necessitate the mBGA option. Verify compatibility with 3.3V systems that require 5V tolerant I/O buffers for legacy device integration.

Specialized Part Context

The PCI9030 series was originally developed by PLX Technology before being acquired by Broadcom. This specific part number represents the lead-free version of the PQFP packaged variant. It serves as a bridge between PCI host systems and various local memory or I/O devices, simplifying hardware design by integrating complex timing and protocol logic.

Specialized Replacement Considerations

The PCI9030-AA60BI F is the BGA package equivalent. Direct pin-to-pin replacements are limited; redesign may be required for different packages. Consult PLX/Broadcom compatibility guides for alternative I/O accelerators if the PCI9030 is discontinued.

Specialized FAQ

Does the PCI9030 support CompactPCI Hot Swap?

Yes, it is the industry's first CompactPCI Hot Swap Ready Target device, supporting features like precharge BIOS, early power tolerance, and ENUM# control.

What is the maximum local bus frequency?

The local bus can operate at frequencies up to 60MHz, enabling burst transfers up to 240 Mbytes/second.

Is the device compatible with 5V logic?

Yes, the PCI9030 requires a 3.3V core voltage but provides 5V tolerant I/O buffers on both the PCI and Local buses.
